• Analog style LIMs have reached their life expectancy
• Older LIMs may no longer be serviceable due to component obsolescence
• Updating obsolete analog LIMs to the latest digital technology reduces required testing frequency from monthly to annual, per NFPA 99 Section 6.3.4.1.4
• Reduce maintenance costs and total cost of ownership
• Less expensive than replacing the entire Isolated Power System
